Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new
You can never solve a problem on the level on which it was created.
When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity

Purpose of solving a problem is not simply to get the answer(the answer is only an evidence) but to develop your thinking ability

But nobody has double bond :S, maybe someone has back bonding.In that case I go with OF2 without any solid reason :)

It shud be PF3 as P has empty orbitals and hence lone pairs of F can do backbonding with empty orbitals of P and so F wud have some partial double bond character.

Ya, to some extent but F is a very small element. Wat is the problem then??
